When I first purchased this tea, I was a bit hesitant with the word ‘creme’. it smelled heavenly, but i was worried it would have an artificial flavor to it. much to my surprise, they use vanilla in it to give it a creamy note, and my god is it delicious! soft and creamy, with just the right strength from the bergamont and the black tea.excellent for 2nd and 3rd uses well, although the 3rd use tends to be a bit watered down. excellent for making London fog, f there’s any fans out there of that delicious drink :)
